This 300 year old beauty secret of the geisha comes from the heart of Imperial Japan. For centuries, gold craftsmen in Japan have used special handmade papers to protect the precious metal they hammered into whisper-thin leafing to enrobe the majestic pavilions of Imperial Japan.
Their gold-leaf artistry transformed the supporting paper into aburatorigami, an incredibly soft, strong and absorbent leaflet ideal for removing excess oils from delicate skin.
Just how our geisha discovered that this precious by product of the artisan’s alchemy could help create a perfect canvas for her makeup and keep her skin petal fresh throughout the night remains a mystery, but the benefits of her ancient beauty secret remain unsurpassed to this day.
…in Leonardo DaVinci’s observation that “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
…that the best beauty secrets are still out there waiting to be discovered by the modern world.
…that true quality comes from the history of each product and expertise of the craftsmen that make them.
